====Main Series====

+

Colress debuted in ''[[BW114: Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', conducting experiments with wild Pokémon in an attempt to bring out their true strength. From his base in an abandoned observatory outside of [[Floccesy Town]], he used a large machine to generate EM waves that resonated with small devices on the wild Pokémon's foreheads, increasing their aggression and attack power while also rendering them subservient to [[Team Plasma]]'s commands. Unfortunately for the villains, the mind-control device's EM waves also leaked into the surrounding wilderness, driving the local Pokémon to attack Floccesy Town and revealing their presence in the area. When [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], his friends, and Looker arrived in the observatory, Colress released his mind-controlled Pokémon on them to test their strength. Impressed by their Pokémon's ability to match his brainwashed Pokémon, he planted one of his controlling devices on Pikachu, forcing him to fight his master. However, Ash's encouragement allowed [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] to fight against the EM waves, eventually causing the device to break and freeing Pikachu, much to Colress' amazement. Before he could gather further data, Team Rocket showed up, using one of their miniature robots to steal Colress's research data from his computer before quickly reciting their motto and making an escape with their balloon. With the mind-controlled Pokémon freed, Colress and the [[Team Plasma Grunt]]s he had with him retreated, destroying the observatory with a self-destruct mechanism to get rid of all possible evidence.

+

+

Colress appeared again in ''[[BW119: Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', where it was revealed that he had upgraded his Pokémon-controlling machine with his remaining research data. Instead of emitting radio waves to activate separate receivers on its targets, the machine now fired a narrow energy beam which instantly brought any Pokémon it hit under Team Plasma's control. Using this machine, Colress took control of a [[Rhoder's Haxorus|Haxorus]], which he sent rampaging in a city. When Ash and his friends arrived and sent their Pokémon to stop Haxorus, Colress used his machine to take control of [[Iris' Dragonite]], giving the heroes a lot more trouble to deal with. Suddenly Team Rocket appeared, attempting to steal Colress's machine. A battle between [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s [[Jessie's Woobat|Woobat]] and [[James' Amoonguss|Amoonguss]] and [[Aldith's Liepard]] then took place, during which one of Liepard's [[Shadow Ball]]s accidentally hit the machine, breaking it and freeing Haxorus and Dragonite from his control. Realizing that they were at a disadvantage, Colress and the Plasma Grunts retreated.

+

+

Colress appeared briefly in ''[[BW120: Secrets From Out of the Fog!|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]'' with [[Aldith]], discussing Team Plasma's plans with [[Ghetsis]] on a videophone call.

+

+

Colress appeared again in ''[[BW121: Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]''. [[Team Rocket]] invaded his newest laboratory and drew his security - consisting of Aldith, [[Barret]] and some other Plasma Grunts - into a trap in the woods. Once Colress was alone, Meowth approached him and attempted to convince him to join Team Rocket. Colress refused, but offered to allow [[Team Rocket's Meowth|Meowth]] to participate in an experiment to increase his strength. Meowth agreed, having undergone training to resist the mind control device. However, Colress still managed to take control of Meowth, and ordered him to attack Jessie and James. Using [[Jessie's Frillish|Frillish]] and Amoonguss, they managed to snap him out of it before escaping. Later, Colress was seen with his Grunts reporting to Ghetsis, who revealed information about the [[Light Stone]] to them.

+

+

In ''[[BW122: Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', Colress appeared with the rest of Team Plasma to commence their operation at the [[White Ruins]]. While Aldith, Barret and many other Grunts ambushed the workers at the site, Colress used his perfected machine to seize control of the workers' Pokémon and turn them on their Trainers. In ''[[BW123: Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', he also took control of Pikachu again, forcing [[N]] to surrender the Light Stone to Team Plasma in exchange for Ash's safety. He appeared again in ''[[BW124: What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', aiding Ghetsis in taking control of the awakened [[Reshiram (anime)|Reshiram]]. When Ash and Pikachu tried to stop him, he used his machine on Pikachu yet again. However, this time Pikachu was able to fight against its control, and - together with Reshiram - destroyed Colress's machine once and for all, thus freeing the controlled Pokémon. Later Colress and the other Team Plasma members were arrested by [[Looker]], thus bringing the team down. As [[Officer Jenny]] took Team Plasma into custody, Colress mentioned his next project will be a device that allows Pokémon to communicate with people.

Although Pikachu was forced to attack his Trainer, [[Ash Ketchum]] was able to encourage him to fight against the machine. After a struggle, he managed to destroy the receiver on his head, freeing himself from Colress's control. In [[BW123: Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]], Colress used his perfected mind-control device to take control of Pikachu again. This time, Ash's pleas did not get through to him, and Colress forced the Mouse Pokémon to viciously attack his Trainer. Colress ultimately freed him from control once N traded the [[Light Stone]] for Ash's safety. In [[BW124: What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]], during the final battle against [[Team Plasma]], Colress took control of Pikachu for the third time. This time, however, Pikachu was able to fight against the force that controlled him, even disobeying his orders and attacking [[Reshiram (anime)|Reshiram]] which was also under Colress's control. Even though Colress fired his device on Pikachu again, he was able to keep fighting, and, together with the similarly-rebelling Reshiram, destroyed the control machine, freeing the controlled Pokémon once and for all.

Colress is a boss of Team Plasma, debuting in Black 2 and White 2. He researches Pokémon strength and is experimenting on something to do with the dormant abilities of Pokémon. He is said to be mysterious and difficult to read.

Colress is first encountered in the Castelia Sewers after defeating two Team Plasma grunts. He is met again on the northern part of the city. He explains to the player that he disagrees with the old Team Plasma's ambitions to liberate Pokémon from the grasps of humans. He is instantly encountered again on Route 4. He helps the player proceed by moving a group of Crustle that were blocking the path. He then challenges the player to a battle for the first time.

Later on the player encounters him again on Route 22. He talks to the player mostly about Team Plasma and gives the player the Colress Machine.

After the player fights his/her way through the Plasma Frigate, Colress is encountered again in his chamber on the ship. Much to the player's disbelief, Colress reveals that he sided with Team Neo Plasma to help with his research on bringing forth the full power of Pokémon. He then challenges the player to another battle. When he is defeated, he applauds the player's determination and allows entrance to Ghetsis's quarters on the ship.

When the player enters Ghetsis's chamber, he reveals that Colress is the boss of Team Plasma. He rants about his defeat.

Colress remains on the Plasma Frigate even after the player defeats the Elite Four and the Champion. He can be rebattled once per day, and he will give the player a Master Ball after the first rematch. After he is rebattled the first time, he can be found on the helm of the frigate.

Colress debuted in Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!, conducting experiments with wild Pokémon in an attempt to bring out their true strength. From his base in an abandoned observatory outside of Floccesy Town, he used a large machine to generate EM waves that resonated with small devices on the wild Pokémon's foreheads, increasing their aggression and attack power while also rendering them subservient to Team Plasma's commands. Unfortunately for the villains, the mind-control device's EM waves also leaked into the surrounding wilderness, driving the local Pokémon to attack Floccesy Town and revealing their presence in the area. When Ash, his friends, and Looker arrived in the observatory, Colress released his mind-controlled Pokémon on them to test their strength. Impressed by their Pokémon's ability to match his brainwashed Pokémon, he planted one of his controlling devices on Pikachu, forcing him to fight his master. However, Ash's encouragement allowed Pikachu to fight against the EM waves, eventually causing the device to break and freeing Pikachu, much to Colress' amazement. Before he could gather further data, Team Rocket showed up, using one of their miniature robots to steal Colress's research data from his computer before quickly reciting their motto and making an escape with their balloon. With the mind-controlled Pokémon freed, Colress and the Team Plasma Grunts he had with him retreated, destroying the observatory with a self-destruct mechanism to get rid of all possible evidence.

Colress appeared again in Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!, where it was revealed that he had upgraded his Pokémon-controlling machine with his remaining research data. Instead of emitting radio waves to activate separate receivers on its targets, the machine now fired a narrow energy beam which instantly brought any Pokémon it hit under Team Plasma's control. Using this machine, Colress took control of a Haxorus, which he sent rampaging in a city. When Ash and his friends arrived and sent their Pokémon to stop Haxorus, Colress used his machine to take control of Iris' Dragonite, giving the heroes a lot more trouble to deal with. Suddenly Team Rocket appeared, attempting to steal Colress's machine. A battle between Jessie and James's Woobat and Amoonguss and Aldith's Liepard then took place, during which one of Liepard's Shadow Balls accidentally hit the machine, breaking it and freeing Haxorus and Dragonite from his control. Realizing that they were at a disadvantage, Colress and the Plasma Grunts retreated.

Colress appeared again in Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!. Team Rocket invaded his newest laboratory and drew his security - consisting of Aldith, Barret and some other Plasma Grunts - into a trap in the woods. Once Colress was alone, Meowth approached him and attempted to convince him to join Team Rocket. Colress refused, but offered to allow Meowth to participate in an experiment to increase his strength. Meowth agreed, having undergone training to resist the mind control device. However, Colress still managed to take control of Meowth, and ordered him to attack Jessie and James. Using Frillish and Amoonguss, they managed to snap him out of it before escaping. Later, Colress was seen with his Grunts reporting to Ghetsis, who revealed information about the Light Stone to them.

In Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!, Colress appeared with the rest of Team Plasma to commence their operation at the White Ruins. While Aldith, Barret and many other Grunts ambushed the workers at the site, Colress used his perfected machine to seize control of the workers' Pokémon and turn them on their Trainers. In Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!, he also took control of Pikachu again, forcing N to surrender the Light Stone to Team Plasma in exchange for Ash's safety. He appeared again in What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!, aiding Ghetsis in taking control of the awakened Reshiram. When Ash and Pikachu tried to stop him, he used his machine on Pikachu yet again. However, this time Pikachu was able to fight against its control, and - together with Reshiram - destroyed Colress's machine once and for all, thus freeing the controlled Pokémon. Later Colress and the other Team Plasma members were arrested by Looker, thus bringing the team down. As Officer Jenny took Team Plasma into custody, Colress mentioned his next project will be a device that allows Pokémon to communicate with people.

Galvantula was one of the Pokémon Colress used to test the original version of his mind-control device. It appeared to be one of Colress' favorites, as he called it his "star test subject", but passed out when Colress attempted to increase the intensity of the EM waves. After it recovered, it was forced to fight against Ash's Pikachu and Iris' Axew. It was eventually released from Colress's control when Team Rocket stole his data and deactivated the machine. Galvantula's known moves are Thunderbolt and Electro Ball.

Beartic was one of Colress' test subjects in the Floccesy Town observatory. It was also forced to fight against Ash's Pikachu and Iris's Axew. It was eventually released from Colress's control when Team Rocket stole his computer's data. Beartic's only known move is Ice Beam.

Colress used his mind-control machine to take control of a Scolipede on two separate occasions. The first Scolipede was one of the Pokémon Colress used in his initial research, being subjected to EM waves within the old Floccesy Town observatory. It was forced to fight against Ash's Pikachu, and was eventually released from Colress' control when Team Rocket stole his data. In Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!, Colress tested out the upgraded version of his mind-control machine on another Scolipede. After the Scolipede fired off an attack, Colress turned his machine off, reverting the Scolipede back to its normal state. The first Scolipede's only known move is Poison Tail. The second Scolipede's only known move is SolarBeam.

Mienshao was another of the Pokémon Colress used in his initial research. It was forced to fight against Iris's Axew, and was eventually released from Colress' control when Team Rocket stole his data. Mienshao's known moves are Low Sweep and Hi Jump Kick.

During the battle against the controlled Pokémon in the abandoned observatory, Colress was impressed by Ash's Pikachu's strength. Deciding to use the Electric Mouse for his tests, he attached a receiver to Pikachu and turned his EM wave generator to maximum output. Although Pikachu was forced to attack his Trainer, Ash Ketchum was able to encourage him to fight against the machine. After a struggle, he managed to destroy the receiver on his head, freeing himself from Colress's control. In Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!, Colress used his perfected mind-control device to take control of Pikachu again. This time, Ash's pleas did not get through to him, and Colress forced the Mouse Pokémon to viciously attack his Trainer. Colress ultimately freed him from control once N traded the Light Stone for Ash's safety. In What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!, during the final battle against Team Plasma, Colress took control of Pikachu for the third time. This time, however, Pikachu was able to fight against the force that controlled him, even disobeying his orders and attacking Reshiram which was also under Colress's control. Even though Colress fired his device on Pikachu again, he was able to keep fighting, and, together with the similarly-rebelling Reshiram, destroyed the control machine, freeing the controlled Pokémon once and for all.

Colress took control of a Haxorus belonging to a Trainer called Rhoder with his upgraded mind-controlling machine, sending it on a rampage. When the machine was broken, it was freed from Colress' control, ending its rampage and allowing Rhoder to return it to its Poké Ball.

When Ash and his friends attempted to stop Haxorus, Colress used his machine to take control of Iris' Dragonite, sending him on a rampage just like Haxorus. When the machine was broken, he was freed from Colress' control, ending his rampage and allowing Iris to return him to his Poké Ball.

When Team Rocket teamed up with Colress to use his machine to amplify Meowth's power, he double-crossed them and had Meowth attack them. Frillish and Amoonguss were used to calm Meowth long enough for Jessie and James to snap him out of Colress' control.

At the White Ruins, Colress seized control of several Golurk from Cedric Juniper's assistants using his perfected machine so they could be used to aid Team Plasma's mission. They were freed from Colress' control when Pikachu and Reshiram rebelled against him and destroyed the control machine. Golurk's known moves are Charge Beam, Telekinesis, and Shadow Ball.

At the White Ruins, Colress seized control of several Timburr and Conkeldurr from Cedric Juniper's assistants using his perfected machine so they could be used to aid Team Plasma's mission. They were freed from Colress' control when Pikachu and Reshiram rebelled against him and destroyed the control machine. None of Timburr and Conkeldurr's moves are known.

Colress took control of Gothitelle when Anthea and Concordia arrived to fight Ghetsis and Team Plasma. It was freed from Colress' control when Pikachu and Reshiram rebelled against him and destroyed the control machine.

Colress took control of Gardevoir when Anthea and Concordia arrived to fight Ghetsis and Team Plasma. It was freed from Colress' control when Pikachu and Reshiram rebelled against him and destroyed the control machine.

Once Ghetsis had managed to awaken Reshiram, Colress used his machine to take control of it. However, thanks to Ash, N, and Pikachu, Reshiram started to fight against its controller, and, together with Pikachu, destroyed the control machine, freeing the controlled Pokémon once and for all. Afterwards, Reshiram bid farewell with N and flew away. Reshiram's known moves are Fusion Flare and Blue Flare.

Colress always appears as the final opponent in the first Driftveil Tournament visit, as the opponents fought are scripted to win, with Hugh being the first trainer, and Cheren being the second.

Colress lacks a VS sprite the first two times he is fought. When he is fought as the Boss of Team Neo Plasma, he uses the template that N and Ghetsis use when they are battled, and his VS sprite is there. When he is rebattled in the Post-Game, he uses the template used by Hugh.
